mrtn Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 It was done by some company in Holland, no idea if they were certified or not but they did a lousy job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reppik Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 60 days with out my FTC. They are still telling stories. I have sent a letter to CEO and now looking for legal representation to recoup losses. We will see. Most lawyers I talk to say I have a good case.

G B L Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 That's not good news. I was hoping for a better outcome When the Lawyers get involved it seems like they end up being the big winners. Waiting for the next chapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
windguy Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 60 days with out my FTC. They are still telling stories. I have sent a letter to CEO and now looking for legal representation to recoup losses. We will see. Most lawyers I talk to say I have a good case. that's not good news. is this a dealer issue or a Ford issue or both? it's hard for me to understand why it's taking so long to get a transmission fixed or replaced. if it's a dealer issue, then have you considered having the van flat bedded to another more competent dealer?

al4041 Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 Hello, New to this forum. I've got a 2014 TC cargo, LWB, with 1.6L ecoboost. I've done three oil changes myself and have noticed a minor leak from the left axle seal at each change. It's never been enough of a leak to leave any residue on the ground. I've only noticed the shifting issue a few times since new. It's got 15k miles now. After researching this forum it looks like i'd better get it into the dealer. I hope my experience is better than some of those i've read. I hate letting anyone touch my vehicles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted January 22, 2016 Share Posted January 22, 2016 The first thing you need to do is to check the level of the oil in the Transmission. there is a 14 MM bolt near the left half shaft and with the oil hot and the engine running with the trans in park or neutral oil will just drip out the hole. The only time a transmission fails from a leak is when there is no oil left. The Transmission oil level is easy to ignore because it is not easy to check and the bottom guard is black and porous so a drip would hide pretty well . Reppik is there any resolution to your issue?

al4041 Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Repair update. I bought my TC in for service on 2/3/16. I got it back on 2/4/16. They replaced the seal, half shaft end and topped off fluids per SSM45441. I was extremely pleased with the service I received from my dealer. After approximately 1000 miles, I see no oil residue around the seal. I will repost if that changes. windguy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Next time I'm at the dealer I'll find out the difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC281 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 My TC wagon shifts a bit rough on the 2-3 shift. Every other shift is smooth. I noticed the 2-3 shifts a few hundred RPM's higher than other shifts. I had it in the other day for a few things and that was one of them. The mechanic says it's normal.

mrtn Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 My shifts are irregular. Some are silky smooth, some are slow, some a a bit jerky. Feels like a programming issue. For example my friend's ex 2005 CLS never shifted wrong. Not one shift felt off regardless the situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 mrtn is there any difference in the shift quality from gasoline to Propane? The shift quality on the down shift from 6th to 5th at 50 mph (83Km) is the one that is not smooth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtn Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 The Butt-o-Meter says yes, the shift points are a bit higher than normal. Also the decreased torque is affecting the shift feeling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G B L Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) Sounds like the Butt-o -Meter is calibrated correctly. Edited December 20, 2016 by G B L Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
